5K Season is Upon Us

Well, yesterday was the Denville 5K, benefiting the Morris Knolls Baseball Diamond club. There were quite a few Strollerfit members who participated. For some it was their first race, and other were veteran runners. For everyone, it was a great day for a race.

It was a wonderful day that started out with registration. Then 9:00 hit and the runners took off. Some jogged, some ran, and some even walked. There were runners of all ages, from the young (sitting in strollers -- Go Teddy!) to the old, (they're someone's Grandma). Some ran competitively, and some (MEEE) ran to finish. Whatever their 'story' was, it was a beautiful day.

Speaking from my own personal experience, Strollerfit has helped me in so many ways. Last year I was able to complete the 5K race in 45 minutes. ( I can't believe that I put that in print). But this year, after another whole year of working out, of getting stronger and faster, I was able to complete the same race in 35 minutes. 10 whole minutes shorter!!!! Eating right and exercising regularly has helped me in so many ways. And it can help you too.

Now, I need to find the next 5K to run. Maybe I can beat my 35 minute time.

Congrats to Stephanie, Faith, Lindsay, Johanna, Michelle, Sarah for completing the Denville 5K.
